The main emphasis of the Dayton Dutch Lions FC youth academy is the individual technical, tactical, physical and social development of the young soccer player. We try to achieve this by offering a clear development path for our youth players that will help them develop in to the best soccer player, athlete and person possible.

Besides the soccer development we put just as much emphasis on the clubs 5 core values that we believe to be essential to achieve success:

Respect

Integrity

Communication

Focus

Strive to Improve
